Goodwood FOS

NewAlfisti · #1 (**Post Link**) 25-06-12

Hello all,

Is anyone going to Goodwood this year?

Captain Slow · #2 (**Post Link**) 25-06-12

Yep. Thursday.

GTA_Nigel · #3 (**Post Link**) 25-06-12

No, been for the last three years, going to give it a miss. Nothing new to see and fewer Alfas than in previous years, and it's damned expensive! Excellent event, don't get me wrong, but very similar every year.

Going on Sunday on my own very early in my GTA, can not wait. It is the most amazing day and I know its sad but I really wanted to do one year on my own so I could see everything I wanted to. AWESOME!

Yep, going, as ever, on the Sunday.....it's the best day if you want to see some real speed on the hill IMO.

I'll be up at 4, and picking my mates up at 5..........Little Chef en route, perfect!

One of my mates ordered his ticket a little late, so he may be queuing to get it at the gate............whilst I and another will be inside sipping Pimms

Sunday is deffinately the best day, all about the timed runs

NewAlfisti · #7 (**Post Link**) 25-06-12

I will be there Saturday and Sunday (bringing the GTA too), will be hanging out at the Cummins Engine stand.
Will be happy to meet anyone that is around and talk GTA's.

Not sad at all in my opinion. Nothing better sometimes to just do what you want to do, no compromise - can't beat it! Enjoy

Agree, I actually went twice last year, on the Thursday (free tickets) and again on the Saturday with my son. Had a really good nose over the Alfas and other wonderful machinery in the paddock on the Thursday and chatted to some of the drivers/mechanics. How sad is that!

Also, got the chance to see the Tipo 33 Stradale up close when it arrived for the concours, I literally had to get out of the way to let it park up!

I'll be there on the Sunday, in the SW.

cheners · #12 (**Post Link**) 26-06-12

Going Saturday. Brother giving me a lift in a SAAB :roll eyes:
I go every year, to the Revival as well. It is expensive and crowded (and you queue to get in and out!) but the atmosphere is terrific and I would never miss it. Been to last ten years on the trot

Can't wait!

People say it's expensive, but for what you get from the day, it's good value I think. Fuel is of course a variable cost....I'll be using a fair bit driving from Devon.

However, most teenagers blow far more than the entry fee in a night on the lush at the weekend

Captian_Slow_to_Sell being at Goodwood would explain why he's not all over the Citroen piece on the PH home page.

BX 4TC? just about to read it

In_The_Pass · #16 (**Post Link**) 28-06-12

It took me a while to spot the CX Turbo alloys on it, but I was more taken with those Pugs as I wasn't aware of them. I've not looked through the auction listing.

Hiya NewAlfisti

Welcome back.

I planned to go to Goodwood this year but a few things have cropped up since which prevent me from doing so.

I know its a bit random but...

Im just wondering if it was you I had a little friendly duel with 2 or 3 months ago going passed Redcar on the dual carriageway on the way to Saltburn. I was in a dark green mk3 Golf GTi (5dr). Ring any bells with you?

NewAlfisti · #18 (**Post Link**) 02-07-12

Hey man! i remember that time, it was me indeed!
What the hell were you doing with a VW??

Wahey!!

I thought there cant be that many GTA SW's around the general area so thought id ask.

The Golf belongs to my missus, i was probably on way back from the tip.
I quite enjoyed the little duel despite being outgunned

car in question... http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...l/IMG_0940.jpg

It was fun indeed

shame you were not in your GTA so I could see how much faster it is.

BTW, One day i met a chap that was working in a middlesbrough multistorey car park, he was very much into GTA's and said he knew you but i forget his name.

Aye, bang into his alfas him. He had a 146 and 156 until recently when he sold the 146.

Great idea!

Theres a few in the area I who may well be up for it, ill send a message out... probably asking what dates/times may be good for people first.

Really wanted to go to this but I didn't realise when it was on and booked a holiday to turkey.

My dad got me a little leaflet from the Alfa stand to make up for it
